The transaction channel is a channel drawn on the chart of the securities price series by deleting two trend lines crossed out at the level of resistance and support. Trading channels may be drawn by means of a different of methodology. In general, traders trust that securities value will become in the trading channel. That is why traders use transaction channels to expand purchase and dispose indicators. The commercial channel may also be known as a price channel. Trading channels are an essential processing used by technological analysts to initiate purchase and dispose indicators from technical diagrams. Technological analysts can track different standards that protrude within the channel to differentiate short-term of direction modifications in market prices. However, trading channels supply one of the most essential coverages that the technological analyst will profit for long-term commerce analysis and resolve.
The two typical types of trading channels are:
- trend channel - rely on security trend cycle,
- envelope channel - drawn base on statistical levels.
Trend channel
Trends channels are pencil with specific inclination trend lines at the level of resistance and support of a range of price hedges. These ones channels are not worn for long times price survey because they are not able to pass through the inversion. Trade in trend channels is largely based on the protection trend course, which includes breakthrough gaps, uncontrolled interval and interval in exhaustion. In general, tendency channels will be either plain, rising or falling. A methodology for resolving a financial stock market tendency, including its stages, among others is a channel offering a tendency channel to form a long-term tendency region and an indirect-term tendency region (Kuo-Yu Chuo,2007)

Wang 2003; 4-11)
Examples of Trading channel
- Ichimoku Cloud Trading Channel - The Ichimoku Cloud is a technical indicator designed to identify support and resistance levels and provide trading signals. The indicator consists of four components: Tenkan-sen (conversion line), Kijun-sen (base line), Senkou Span A (leading span A), and Senkou Span B (leading span B). The four lines form two trading channels, with Senkou Span A and B forming the first channel and Tenkan-Sen and Kijun-Sen forming the second channel. The Ichimoku Cloud can be used to generate buy and sell signals and to identify potential trend reversals.

The lines form a trading channel in which the price of the security is expected to remain. The Donchian Channel can be used to generate buy and sell signals and to identify potential trend reversals.
- Bollinger Band Trading Channel - The Bollinger Band is a technical indicator developed by John Bollinger. It is used to identify potential support and resistance levels and to generate buy and sell signals. The Bollinger Band consists of three lines. The middle line plots the average of the security's price over the past n periods, while the upper and lower lines plot the standard deviation of the security's price over the past n periods.
